Before They Assembled: The Best Performances From The Cast Of 'The Avengers'
3 May 2012 12:59 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
For all the many strengths of "The Avengers," there's one important element that writer-director Joss Whedon can't take credit for: the casting. Of the main characters, only one, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner/The Hulk, hasn't appeared in one of the previous five Marvel movies that have led to this point. So given the casting committee that assembled The Avengers, it's something of a miracle that it's ended up with one of the most enjoyable collections of actors in a big tentpole movie for quite some time.
Of course, for the most part, it's to be expected: while there are a few newcomers in the mix, the principle cast have close to a century of experience in the movies between them, and countless great performances in their back catalogs. With "The Avengers" finally hitting U.S. theaters tomorrow, we've picked out the greatest performance of each of the seven members »

Review: The Art of Daniel Clowes

The Art of Daniel Clowes
Edited by Alvin Buenaventura
224 pages, $40, AbramsComicarts
The world appears to have caught up with Daniel Clowes, the artist who looks at the ordinary and conveys that feeling of loneliness and cluelessness so many of us feel on a daily basis. When he grew up, just three years behind me, he saw the pop art era in a vastly different way, an artist’s way I suppose. He had an unremarkable childhood and was trained at the Pratt Institute, graduating in 1984. He desperately wanted to find a commercial art job.
“I was trying to get work as an illustrator in the ’80s, but no art directors actually ever called, which is what led me to throw up my hands in despair and slink back to comics. Originally, I was hoping to find a writer to collaborate with, since I was much more interested in the drawing part of the equation, »

Bad Santa Sequel Shooting This Year!
15 February 2012 1:50 AM, PST | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Festive favourite Bad Santa has become so loved over the years, not even the huge amounts of foul-language in the film could stop its success. The controversial character of Willie T. Stokes, so brilliantly played by Billy Bob Thornton in the 2003 Christmas hit, had been rumoured for a return not long after the first film. Only last year did Thornton express a desire to revisit the character. That in turn lead Dimension Films to hire writers Johnny Rosenthal and John Phillips to pen a sequel.
While speaking at the Berlin Film Festival regarding his latest directing and starring role in Jayne Mansfield’S Car, Thornton confirmed he expects shooting to begin on Bad Santa 2 before the end of the year. It will be his next role after he has completed work on his next film And Then We Drove, a road movie which he will direct and star in, »

How the Oscars Dropped the Ball (Again) With New Documentary Rule
9 January 2012 1:18 PM, PST | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Just when you thought the Oscars couldn't possibly screw up the nomination and voting process for Best Documentary Feature any further, Deadline is reporting that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has instituted a policy in which all entries must receive a review in either the New York Times or the Los Angeles Times in order to be eligible for consideration.
This new rule is just the latest in a long and increasingly exasperating series of hurdles for potential nominees.
Over the last three decades, the Oscars have consistently failed to recognize some of the greatest achievements of each year in the documentary category. Films like "The Thin Blue Line," "Roger & Me," "Hoop Dreams," "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Grizzly Man" and "Waiting For Superman" all either failed to secure a nomination or were deemed ineligible for a variety of provincial, outdated or genuinely arbitrary reasons. For example, Werner Herzog’s "Grizzly Man »
